Vinyl pressings
by Led Zeppelin · 1979
In Through The Out Door was first pressed on vinyl in 1979. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
146 pressings came out in 1979, the album's first year, in 31 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

255 vinyl pressings of In Through The Out Door are listed here, from 37 countries, released between 1978 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in UK, US, Argentina, Austria and more. One of them is Swan Song SSK 59410, released August 15, 1979.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SSK 59410, SS 16002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SSK 59410 - A/5 STRAWBERRY and SSK 59410 - B/5 STRAWBERRY. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
